I'm trying to install 1.25.1 locally before to migrate my MediaWiki 1.18 to the 1.25.1 But, 1.25.1 fails to start with an internal error page; extract: "MediaWiki 1.25 internal error MediaWiki 1.25 requires at least PHP version 5.3.3, you are using PHP 5.4.24"

which is very confusing: 5.24 seems to be more recent than 5.3.3 I can't figure how to work around such a message

Yeah, I got this error message too earlier today. Weird but I dont have the solution.

Hi,

MW 1.25 should work with php 5.4.24. Do you try to install mediawiki with a tarball or from git?

with a tarball

This seems to happen when the composer install is incomplete. I encountered it with Harej at the hackathon and it was very confusing. For him this composer binary had actually even failed downloading, making it even more complicated to figure out what is going on.

Hmm, but the tarballs doesn't need composer, the vendor contents should be (and i checked that yesterday before i answered) bundled with it :/

I'm also affected:

MediaWiki 1.25 requires at least PHP version 5.3.3, you are using PHP 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.9. Installing some external dependencies (e.g. via composer) is also required.

I've downloaded this snapshot: mediawiki-snapshot-REL1_25-76e04b0.tar.gz

I've now used the non-snapshot-version and it worked: http://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.25/mediawiki-1.25.1.tar.gz

I have the same error. For this, I downloaded everything (mediawiki 1.25, php 5.6.9) via github.

Since MediaWiki 1.25, vendor directory is empty. You need to install composer and then run

composer update --no-dev
